Pirate Bay casts anchor in North Korea?

The file-sharing website Pirate Bay, which says it was “persecuted for beliefs of freedom”, claims to have set up shop in North Korea.

In a post on its website, Pirate Bay said that Pyongyang had invited the company to use the country’s network, and that in return the site had altered its sea ship logo to show the North Korean flag.

“We have been fighting for a free world, and our opponents are mostly huge corporations from the United States of America, a place where freedom and freedom of speech is said to be held high,” the blog said.
